OT - to Halloween or not to Halloween

I normally go brezerk setting up my yard with a lot of stuff.
Buy one or two new things each year to add to the collection (I actually purchase on Nov 1, when things are heavily discounted, and store for the following year).

It's fun, but it's a lot of work.

Not sure if I'm going to do it this year ... not if no kids are showing up ... 

What are you guys and gals thinking?  Ya or nay?

    It’s a no around here- trying to figure out another option for the kids.  Always enjoy Halloween so hate missing one of the last years for my youngest.

    I have already written off Thanksgiving (Oct 12th here in GWN) and Halloween because our covid numbers are indicating the second wave has started in our area. Holding out hope that we can salvage Christmas but who knows with this dumpster fire that is 2020. I would regretfully vote nay.

    I sure hope so. I'll be buying candy to hand out.

    N-95 Halloween Masks, might be a going enterprise for someone with sufficient innovation and motivation.
    Around here methods are being discussed, masks (no pun intended) and the honor system (leaving a bowl of candy on the porch) are the leading contenders.

    I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

    In Alabama I think all restrictions will be off by Halloween, that is unless SEC football get's out of hand with infections.

    I don't think any CDC guidelines apply in Alabama.

    We’re business as usual. We enjoy going all out decorating for the holidays, and this year will be no different. Talking with the neighbors, trick or treating will still go down, we’ve got 100+ kids typically in our community each year but will probably see less. My plan is to still pass out candy, but we’ll have them wrapped in individual bags out on a table for the kiddos to pick up, whilst I sip pumpkin beers on my foldable chair (6 feet away from said table).

    We usually walk with the kids and get candy an hour prior to actual start time....at 6pm, all of our neighbors come over and the kids run wild in the yard. I usually cook. 

    This year, between Covid, the lawsuit, and 2020 being just ****, we will be skipping. My buddy brokers candy and we’ll go to his office and let the kids go nuts

    Even if they did, the population wouldn't follow them. Rules? Rules? We don't need or follow any stinkin rules.
